FINAL PAPER: LEGAL ENVIRONMENT OF BUSINESS

Introduction
This paper delves majorly on the legal environment of business by focusing on an
assessment of the ethical/legal situation or issue relating to a recent, potential future, or the
previous work environment. As stated by Meiners, Ringleb, & Edwards (2016), the legal
environment of business refers to the rules, principles, and standards, which define the people’s
behavioral boundaries as well as the behavioral boundaries of the business activities. During
operations of business, several factors tend to influence how an institution performs and often,
such factors arise from different spheres and managers constantly perform an extensive
assessment of such spheres to find out the particular elements. According to Those Unethical
Noncompeting Clauses (2014), the primary key environments in operation of the business
include economic, industry, societal, and legal environments besides other decisive
environments. However, the diversity of business operations are accompanied by specific
considerations of law, which are followed often to achieve the obligations required within these
domains. Thus, for a business to employ these lawful necessities, they may have to engage the
legal experts for advice about the desired requirements of law within these environments (Those
Unethical Noncompeting Clauses, 2014). The dire lawful consequences during the execution of
conflicting measures are among the factors, which often require several legal demands to be
followed.
Under undesirable circumstances, lawful consequences, which emanate from the breach
of the requirements of law, may entail the stoppage of business procedures through an order from
the court (Urser, 2002). Nations and cultures worldwide contain different lawful demands, which
state the rules to be used within these spheres and besides, Urser (2002), asserted that ethical
considerations within these environments are also entrenched within these lawful structures. In

this regard, however, this paper majorly delves explicitly about a business condition of choice
that is rooted in certain legal and ethical necessity. However, the business situation of choice is
job/workplace discrimination and it discusses the different legal and ethical considerations that
surround job discrimination.
The description of Job/Workplace Discrimination
Job discrimination has recently been found to be very common globally within
organizations and involves the embracement of inequality when offering available opportunities.
Discrimination is against the desires of an individual and often leads to dissatisfaction as well as
poor performance of an individual. However, every person ought to be treated uniformly
notwithstanding their social as well as cultural differences. Often, discrimination occurs on the
basis of social status, sex, religion, race, and age and this is also the case in the workplace
(Ursery, 2002). For instance, during the provision of employment opportunities, some members
may be preferred than others because of their race, culture, or sex. Also, there is discrimination
when it comes to payments in the workplace, and in any work environment, as posited by Those
Unethical Noncompete Clauses (2014), people with the same level of education as well as job
groups must be paid uniformly.
Besides, workplace discrimination also happens when there are promotion opportunities
for the workers, and thus, an institution, which embraces social equality/democracy and equality
must ensure that every member is promoted on the grounds of merit. Workp...
